    Screen resolution problem with ' Intel' board

    Hi all,

    Im using debian 5.0 with two different make of motherboards. Both have intel video cards.

    'lspci' in my board1 gives,
    00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07)

    Board2 gives,
    Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
    00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)


    While booting both are set into 640x480 resolution. With this same resolution, the images in 'SCH Poulsbo' is very clear.

    But, '945GME' gives the images in somewhat blured. In windows also, the same impact. But 800x600 gives clear images as in board1.
    So, i tried to set 800x600 in debian also which fails always. The problem is i cannot set the resolution properly in my board 2.
    My xorg.conf file is below

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    EndSection

    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Configured Mouse"
    Driver "mouse"
    EndSection

    Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel 945G"
    Driver "intel"
    EndSection

    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Configured Monitor"
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
    Identifier "Default Screen"
    Device "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GMEE, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller"
    Monitor "Configured Monitor"
    DefaultDepth 24
    Subsection "Display"
    Depth 24
    Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    EndSubsection
    EndSection
    With this xorg file my xserver is not at all starting..No errors also thrown.

    Try generic Refresh Rates in Section Monitor.
    Code:
    Section "Device"
           Identifier "Configured Video Device"
           Driver    "intel"  
    EndSection
    
    Section "Monitor"
             Identifier "Configured Monitor"
             HorizSync 31.5 - 70.0
             VertRefresh 50 - 160
     EndSection
    
    Section "Screen"
            Identifier "Default Screen"
            Monitor "Configured Monitor"
            Device "Configured Video Device"
            DefaultDepth 24
            Subsection "Display"
                 Depth 24
                 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" 
            EndSubsection
    EndSection

    Replace "intel" with "i810" in Video Driver section. In case it doesn't work, check your Monitor's Manual for supported Refresh Rates.
